I OWN A 1999 DAEWOO NUBIRA. FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO IT DOES WHAT THE TOYOTAS ARE DOING. MORE SO IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. THIS PAST SATURDAY WHEN I WAS STOPPED IT STARTED REVVING IN DRIVE, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, IT REVVED HIGHER, I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT SETTLED DOWN. THIS MORNING AT 2 AM. IN COOL WEATHER, IT EVEN WAS REVVING IN PARK, I HAD TO TURN IT OFF. WHAT SHOULD I DO. HAVE YOU HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS? THANK YOU *TR
